Just joined the forums to help me make my decision on whether or not to buy a new Z

It's VERY well integrated and the dash looks 10x better. However, the drawback is if you want to update the maps/software, you must go to dealer. I believe it cost like $175 (someone can correct me).

b. If you're getting Base (or base with sports package), aftermarket should def be your ultimate choice. Just to get the nav, you have to fork out another 3-4000 dollars for touring model. Also, I have been very happy with my Kenwood DNX. Updating the maps are FREE from the manufacturer.

Good luck

some good stuff to think about... thanks for the input dude.

i'm gonna check out some aftermarket units & see if that's the way i wanna go... i always have my portable Garmin i can fall back on if i wanna save a little cash.
